Every football fans in Nigeria have different perception about this man, howbeit his records achievement still remain. Let's go he into main the issue:
Stephen Okechukwu Keshi (born 23
January 1962) is a Nigerian former
football defender . He is currently the
football manager of Nigeria. Some of his records
include the following;
1. He is one of only two people, along with Egypt 's
Mahmoud El-Gohary , to have won the
Africa Cup of Nations as both a player and
a coach.
2.Between 2004 and 2006 Keshi coached the
Togo national football team , unexpectedly
bringing them to their first World Cup
tournament, Germany 2006 . Having
secured Togo's unlikely qualification, he
was promptly replaced by German coach
Otto Pfister prior to the World Cup finals,
after Togo showed a dismal performance
and failed to advance to the knock-out
stage in 2006 African Cup of Nations in
Egypt.
3. Keshi is the first and only indigenous(Nigerian)
coach to win the african cup of nations
for Nigeria.
4. Nigeria never won any trophy since he left the
national team as the captain. It was only
after his return to national team as the coach,
that Nigeria won its first trophy since 1994.
5. On 18 November 2013, Stephen keshi set a
record in African football by being the
first African coach to successfully qualify
two African nations (Nigeria and Togo) to
the World Cup Finals. He also helped
Nigeria become the first country to
achieve an African Cup of Nations trophy
and World Cup qualification, both in 2013.
6.In september 2014 keshi was rank 14th best
national team coach in the world just within his
first three year as the coach of Nigeria national
side.
7.The 'big boss' as keshi is fondly called adopt attacking
style of football even when his team is trailing,when playing against highly rated opponents, or when playing without his key players, example is
the 2013 FIFA co-federation cup when his team
was without Emenike, Moses and, Onazi who
were then in top form. In an interview with
Fifa.com before Nigeria's opening opening
march against Iran Keshi said;
I like attacking football. I don't believe you
need to sit back and load behind. You've got
to be open and make the people come to the
stadium. They spend so much money – they
need to get value for it. Good, attacking

football is what I like. Of course there must
be purpose and discipline and togetherness
to make the good football work.
8. Keshi never lost any competitive match since
2011 when he was appointed by NFF. However his
unbeating run was ended by forlan in a confederation
cup match. Interestingly, it was a end to forlan's
goal drought in 12 matches.
9. Keshi's team don't lose match without replying
opponent with goals except on very few occasion
notably Spain and France......and...
10. He remains the first and only Nigerian
footballer to win the African Nations Cup
for Nigeria as a player and as a coach. He is
also the first former national team captain
to play at the World Cup and also win a World
Cup ticket for Nigeria as a coach.
11. He is the the first Nigeria national team captain to secure and lead Nigeria to its first world cup, where Nigeria reach second round.
12. He lead Nigeria to world cup second round thrice; twice as the team captain in 1994 and 1998 and once as a coach, in 2014.

Adim loyal

The guy get better record sha

As much as we cherish European coaches who had made impact e.g Morinho and even those ones who rarely win trophies like 'ijebu man' we must also celebrate this man who won his 1st competition as S.E coach.

Yes, he has lot of record, I'm intending to modify this post to accommodate more of his achievement, both as a manager and as a player.
